Mirko Bortolotti's test with the Williams Formula One team, his
reward for winning the 2011 FIA Formula Two Championship, is
currently underway in Abu Dhabi, and the Italian recorded the
eighth fastest time in the morning session after concentrating on
aerodymanic evaluation and installation laps.

The 21-year-old Italian climbed into the cockpit of the Williams'
FW33 machine on the third and final day of the young driver tests
at the Yas Marina circuit, taking over from Valtteri Bottas, who
enjoyed two full days of running.

Under the watchful eye of Williams F1 Data Engineer Jonathan
Eddolls, Bortolotti quickly acclimatised himself with the car and
steadily improved his times throughout the session.

Red Bull's Jean-Eric Vergne set the overall pace ahead of Ferrari's
Jules Bianchi and Oliver Turvey in the McLaren.

Testing continues later today with full reports on the official F2
website www.formulatwo.com.
